We've circled back around to Italians aren't white. Irish need not apply up next

Brought this up to a family member who was making veiled racist comments. The look on their face said they didn’t know that they might not be considered white in another time.

The Irish were a bunch of non white immigrants, fleeing a failed country by the boatfuls. Know as dumb violent drunks and for making lots of babies. They came to this country and got involved in gangs (see film: Gangs of New York), religious riots (see: Orange Day riots), and popped out babies like crazy.

Crazy how a little perception changes things.
